EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For a better performance and to achieve its mission, Rwanda Public Procurement Authority developed an action plan for the 2009/2010. The activity report of the year 2009/2010 focused mainly on public procurement, capacity building, monitoring of procuring entities as well as the enhancement of legislation through the elaboration of legal texts, notices and provision of advice. It is in this regard that RPPA received bids, evaluated them and awarded tenders. As usual the tenders were of works, goods and services. Contracts of works included the construction of infrastructure such as roads, public buildings, bridges and other works of public utility. Supplies included office equipment, medical equipment and supplies, school materials etc. Contracts of services are mainly those related to intellectual conception. In total, 275 contracts whose value amounted to 263 729 537 202FRW were awarded during the year 2009 - 2010 as follows: Works: 108 contracts of works valued at 159 462 540 006 Frw; Goods: 146 contracts valued at 89 875 718 288 Frw; Services: 21 contracts valued at 14 391 278 908 Frw.

About the sources of financing, tenders financed from treasury takes the first

position with 154 112 678 181 Rwfs (58%) followed by those financed directly by

donors with109 616 859 021Rwfs (42%) of all contracts awarded.

Regarding public procurement method used, open tendering was the method

used most with 81 of all tenders awarded by number. However, when we

consider the value of tenders, this percentage becomes only 49.30%. For the no objections, RPPA granted 73 no objections worth 11,387,677,417.05

Rwfs in the year 2009-2010. Regarding capacity building, 106 people were trained during the second phase of training in the use of dg Market, while for the training of procurement officers and internal tender committee members, 202 people were trained. Concerning audits, for the tenders awarded in year 2008 and mini budget 2009, 46 procuring entities were audited. Concerning legal issues, a draft law modifying and completing the law No 12/2007 of 12/03/2007 on public procurement was elaborated; the draft Ministerial Order defining the competence of RPPA and fixing the thresholds for public procurement entities was drafted and adopted by cabinet. With assistance of a Consultant hired by the MINECOFIN, a draft Code of Ethics that will be governing people involved in public procurement was elaborated. To help staff

Introduction

The Rwanda Public Procurement Authority was established on 30/12/2007 by the law

no63/2007 establishing and determining organization, functioning and responsibilities of

the Rwanda Public procurement Authority. The RPPA replaced the National Tender

Board and unlike the latter whose role was to award and monitor proceedings of public

procurement, the RPPA mainly focuses on regulatory measures, monitoring and building

capacity in public procuring entities.

RPPA‟s vision is to be ‘the center of regional excellence in Public Procurement and

its mission is to achieve the best value for money for the government of Rwanda

under efficient, transparent and fair conditions’.

Though the main function of Rwanda Public Procurement Authority is to regulate,

monitor and build capacities in public procurement, it still awards some tenders during

this transition period after which all procuring entities will have the full responsibility to

award all tenders. During the fiscal year 2009-2010, RPPA awarded tenders above three

hundred million, and carried out prior review of all tenders between two hundred million

and three hundred million Rwandan francs (granting no objection).

This report summarizes the activities that were carried out in the fiscal year 2009/2010

and these are:

1. The activities of board of directors

The Board of Directors (see the list of members in annex 1) as the main decision

making body of Rwanda Public Procurement Authority played a big role in the

achievement of the Institution‟s objectives.

Some of the achievements registered by the Board of Directors in their meetings are:

(i) The approval of first semester 2009 report

(ii) The awarding of 275 tenders worth two hundred sixty three billion, seven

hundred twenty nine million, five hundred thirty seven thousand, two

hundred and two Rwandan francs (263 729 537 202Rwfs)

(iii) The approval of blacklisting of 26 companies that had violated the law

(iv) The appointment of 9 members of staff

2. Awarding tenders

Rwanda Public Procurement Authority procures some of the goods, services and works

on behalf of public procuring entities in a transparent, equitable and efficient manner

It is in this context that tenders are advertised, tender documents are availed to

whomever wants to bid without discrimination, giving enough time to bidders for

preparing their bids, opening bids in public sessions for everyone to witness, forming

evaluation committees to ensure transparency and propose the award of contract.

2.1 Tenders awarded

In a bid to procure goods, services and works on behalf of Public Procuring entities in the

year 2009/2010, RPPA received 101 requests for publication. RPPA advertised 143

tenders out of 300 that had been planned, 42 tenders were brought forward from first

semester 2009. On the other hand, RPPA received 23 tenders requesting for no

objection on the tender documents out of 320 tenders that had been planned and 5

tenders were brought forward. Among these tenders 22 were granted no objection and 6

of them were not granted no objection because 4 of them did not respect the standard

bidding document and 2 were returned to clients as they were under client‟s

competency. This implies that the planned tenders requesting for no objection were

reduced by 297 tenders, this is because the threshold for procuring entities was raised to

two hundred million Rwanda Francs.

81 tenders requesting for no objection on the evaluation report were received and 3 were

brought forward from first semester 2009. 69 tenders requesting for no objection on the

evaluation report out of 300 planned were granted no objections including 3 brought

forward from the first 2009 semester, totaling 72. Eight (8) were not granted no objection

because they were under client‟s competency and 4 were given objection. Tables 1 and

2 and figures 1 and 2 show the details of the tenders awarded and no objections

granted.

month. When you compare with 157 tenders awarded for the first semester 2009 the

average was 26 tenders per month. This was due to the threshold which was increased

from two hundred million to three hundred million. On the other hand the value of tenders

awarded by RPPA increased from 56,621,522,980 to 263,729,537,202.11 Rwfs over the

same period , in actual fact the Government spent more in the year 2009/2010 up to

465.8% if compared with mini budget 2009 because of large tenders for public works

namely: 1. Rehabilitation of Kigali- Ruhengeri road (83.1Km) worth 24,991,862,212

Rwfs. 2. Rehabilitation and periodic maintenance of Mudasomwa- Gisovu road (53 Km)

worth 3,468,752,240 Rwfs; 3. Cyakabiri Nyabikenke Ndusu road (Lot 1) worth

3,118,997,587 Rwfs; 4. Reconstruction of Bushenge hospital worth 2,409,944,993 Rwfs;

5.Construction of SFB learning complex worth 6,432,218,870 Rwfs; 6.Turnkey contracts

for the supply and installation of optic fiber cables (FOC), civil works and other additional

material as well as other services for Kigali and National backbone network worth

33,068,147,965 Rwfs (56,523,850.00 US$); 7. Rehabilitation of roads in Gisenyi Town-

Rubavu district worth 5,572,999,534 Rwfs; 8. Rehabilitation of Cyangugu-Ntendezi-

Mwitazyo worth 29,278,660,301 Rwfs; 9. Rehabilitation of Congo/Nil- Ntendezi worth

10,633,467,514 Rwfs 10. Rehabilitation of KAZABE-RUTSIRO-GASHUBI roads worth

2,875,255,978 Rwfs; and 11. Construction of Kinihira hospital worth 4,012,994,354 Rwfs.

The total cost for 10 tenders (3.6% of all tenders in number only) is 120,971,996,301

Rwfs and carries a very significant proportion of 46. %

Works took the highest proportion of value of contracts awarded in the year 2009/2010

(60.47%) in contrast to the mini budget 2009 when it was goods that had taken the first

position in this regard (55%). Usually, it is the public works that take the highest

proportion of value of contracts awarded but in the first semester of 2009, no important

contracts for works were awarded.

Treasury was the major source of funding for the tenders awarded in both year

2009/2010 and semester 2009 (58% and 74%) reflecting increasing ability of

government to generate its own resources as well as the use of budget support

mechanism by donors.

Regarding procurement methods, open tendering (both national and international) was

the most used in the year 2009/2010 and it was 82% in number and 68% in amount

compared to 83% in number and 58% in amount in the first semester 2009.

Although there was an improvement in the use of open tendering in 2009/2010

compared to 1st semester 2009, the level was still lower than 2008 and 2007 (above 80%

in amount for the two years). Two large contracts were responsible for this namely: Kigali

and National Backbone for the Optic Fibre Cable and Rehabilitation of Rubavu Town

Roads and Construction of Drainage Channels in the town. The two tenders were

awarded by single source method and they alone contributed 15% of the total amount for

all tenders awarded. The reason for single sourcing the construction of Kigali and

national backbone for optic fibre cable was that the government wanted the backbone

built within a reasonably short time and identified Korea Telcom for the assignment. As

for the rehabilitation of Rubavu Town roads, initially they had not been planned, but

when it was clear that their poor state was hampering economic activities a decision was

taken to have them rehabilitated immediately. The tender was awarded to SNCTPC by

single source method because it had equipment in the area and would therefore execute

the works in a short time.

12 months while the first semester 2009 was 6 months. This decrease was due to the

raising of the threshold.

2.2 Advertisement of tenders

We ensure the advertisement of tender notices on RPPA website and dgmarket.

Necessary arrangements are also made with agents from “BUSINESS WEEK” so that

international tender notices can be published in that newspaper. We also summarize

tender notices to be published on RPPA notice boards for the public.

3. Audit and field visits

3.1. Audits 2008 plus mini budget 2009

- Number of entities planned vs number of entities audited For the tenders awarded in year 2008 and mini budget 2009, 46 procuring entities were audited out of 55 that had been planned. -Main findings In General, the following weaknesses/challenges were noticed

During the audit activities, it was noted that that procurement procedures were respected in the following proportions

For the 46 entities audited, 41 entities had their annual procurement plans i.e. 89.1% of all the entities audited. Nevertheless, in terms of number, on a total of 1,987 tenders taken as samples, on a total of 2642 tenders awarded by all the procuring entities audited, only 1,078 appeared on the procurement plans, which stand for 54.2%. The total value of all the audited tenders was 53,239,432,328RwF.

1,176/1,987 (59.1%) of audited tenders were awarded through appropriate method (authorized by the law on public procurement) and the commonest method used was the open competitive tendering. It was used for 869/1,987. I.e. 43.7% of all the contracts awarded by number. In terms of value, the total amount for all tenders, which were awarded through this method, totals 42,165,630,403RwF which stand for 79.2.3% of the total price of all contracts audited.

Other methods used were in the following ratios (by number): - Restricted tendering method (national and international): 372/1,987, i .e 18.7% - Request for quotations (shopping): 460/1,987, i.e. 23.1%; - Single source method 139/1,987, i.e. 7 %; - Unidentified method due to lack of supporting documents concerned: 147/1,987, i.e. 7.3 %.

For 1,019 tenders that required the preparation of tender documents/Requests for proposals, 781 TD/RFP only, i.e. 76.6%, were available and were presented to the auditors. Among these tender documents, only 197 tender documents were prepared according to the Standard Bidding Document. i.e. 25.2%,

The number of tenders, taken as samples that would be transmitted for an à priori review by RPPA was 55. Among these, the request for no objection was done for 43 tenders, that is to say 78.1%

Reports of opening of bids were available for 57.7% of tenders audited. Some

procuring entities still put a section about opening of bids in the evaluation report and

think this is sufficient which is not the case.

were based on criteria of bidding documents. i.e. 63.4%

According to the regulations in force, the performance guarantees should be required

for every tender having the amount which is more than five million Rwandan francs.

and submitted for 536/781 tenders, which represents 68.6 %.

The contracts / purchase orders which were presented to the auditors are

1,721/1,987, which represent 86,6%

of the audit period

The audit indicated the necessity of an improvement in the filing of documents.

Indeed, only 393/1987 tenders had all necessary procurement documents. i.e. 19.7%

Recommendations

4. Capacity building

4.1 Training workshops

The numbers of people trained exceeded those that had been planes by far. This was because more people turned up for training than had been expected for dg market training and there was refresher training for procurement officers and members of tender committees which had not been planned. Therefore instead of training 100 procurement officers in the use of dg Market which had been planned, 106 were trained while instead of training 100 procurement officers and internal tender committees in procurement procedures, which had been planned, 202 were trained. All training sessions were conducted by RPPA, RIAM, DG Market and IMA (International Management Academy).

4.2 One day training meetings and presentations in Meetings

- In October 2009, RPPA staff provided one-day training on public procurement procedures for 26 staff of the Public Service Commission. - In November 2009, RPPA staff provided one-day training on public procurement procedures for 15 staff of Gasabo District.

6. Policy, legislation and investigation.

This section covers policy and legislation activities, legal advisory activities,

investigation and blacklisting activities. In this regard the legal team worked on

drafting amendments in order to improve public procurement law, advised a

number of procuring entities in legal issues relating to procurement, and updated

the blacklist.

6.1 Policy and legislation

A draft law modifying and completing the law No 12/2007 of 12/03/2007 on public

procurement was elaborated. The draft corrects some provisions found with

language mistakes, amends others for improvement by adding paragraphs or by

removing unsuitable ones. In order to collect many ideas and cover all issues

encountered by procuring entities and enforcement stakeholders when they were

implementing the law on public procurement, consultative meetings on the draft

were organized. The draft Ministerial Order defining the competence of RPPA

and fixing the thresholds for public procurement entities was drafted and adopted

by cabinet. With assistance of a Consultant hired by the MINECOFIN, a draft

Code of Ethics that will govern people involved in public procurement was

elaborated. To help staff managing public procurement a draft of Procurement

User Guide has been prepared.

The legal team of RPPA reviewed the draft of procurement procedures for

“BANQUE RWANDAISE DE DEVELOPPMENT S.A” and discussed with

CAMERWA team on the amendment draft of “public procurement Manual for

CAMERWA ASBL”.

Some of them were related to contract drafting or management, others on

procurement proceedings. Advice availed in this regard certainly helped

requesting procuring entities to prevent or avoid disputes that should have

increased procurement costs for them or helped them to respect public

procurement procedures. The expectation is that the advice availed have helped

procuring entities to attain objectives of the procurement they intended to

achieve.

6.3 Investigation and Blacklisting

During the year 2010/2009, RPPA had 89 cases were under investigations for

violating the law on public procurement (including those that had been received

use of forged documents. These are: GECO-INTER, ERT, ECODIF, EKAJEKO,

ECOSAF, ALAFACON, STUDI INTERNATIONAL and SOCOBAT/RP.

Investigations were still ongoing for the remaining 67 cases.

6.4 Litigation

legal team was charged to guide visitors. In this regard the team introduced them

to legal and institutional framework of public procurement and guided the

delegation to visit key institutions which are partners of RPPA in public

procurement.

The RPPA legal team participated in EAC conference on various protocols

related to the implementation of EAC Common Market and other policies and

10.3. Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the following

policies, which have been applied consistently in all material aspects, unless

otherwise indicated. However, where appropriate and meaningful, additional

information has been disclosed to enhance the usefulness of the Financial

Statements and to comply with the requirements of Article 70 of the Organic Law

on State Finances and Property: Law No. 37/2006 of 12 September 2006 and

Ministerial Order N°002/07 of 9 February 2007 relating to Financial Regulations.

The Financial Statements have been prepared on a modified cash basis of

accounting, except where stated otherwise. In the context of Ministerial Order

N°002/07 of 9 February 2007 relating to Financial Regulations the modified cash

basis of accounting means financial transactions which are recognized in the

books of account as follows:

1 Generally, transactions are recognized only at the time the associated cash

flows take place;

2 The expenditure on acquisition of fixed assets is not capitalized. Thus fixed

assets are written–off on acquisition and the wear and tear (depreciation) of

those assets is not recorded in the books of account; and

3 Prepaid expenditure/advances is written-off during the period of

disbursement.

The recognized “modification” is as follows:
